expenditures already, but then we were able to free up some money, to add some curriculum to help boasts write better transitions -- to help write better transitions. we are taking baby steps. >> i appreciate your concerns. september is when we have the special education review, and what we have been doing in terms of looking at special education services is this is years and years in the making, and we are

months in the reform. this is going to be one of the priorities, and we look forward to coming back and showing the students are more successful, but i want to say this is going to take some time to reduce structural impediments, and it is going to involve labour negotiations. it is going to look of a comprehensive review of what we do for students with disabilities. get >> i want to add that i have already talked to the superintendent about doing an update one year after the review, so in september to take out as an opportunity to look knackered where we are -- look back at where we are and the steps we have made.

i think that is a good time. >> we have invited her to come back to the committee, so that would be great. >> we are back to the budget. goo>> i appreciate that we talk about their current situation when we talk about school closure days, and how about directly impacts all employees and also but unrepresented administrators are for five days. gooi would like it in i am willg

to support the, but i would like to also ask roger to give us a staff of state -- updates on our situation. thank you, mr. bushman. i know we originally sent out 420 layoff notices. >> i thought it was about 300. >> i am going to start with that figure and let you take it from

here. >> cert employees, there were 147 that we laid off, and we laid off 13 administrators, but 110 have been returned. >> we have been able to do about by cost savings and figuring out other ways we can reduce costs to hire these folks back. is that correct? >> as well as positions, etc. to address your original

question, but was the total amount of back in march, so the 147 is the number of may 15 certificate notices, and i was the language states, that number has been reduced because of the number of recalls but have taken place. >> can we talk about the other employees as well in? what about our other employees? >> 4 para educators, we had 138th. there are 48 of them that are now laid off. >> all of those numbers you have

given me are those that are not returning. they have retired or done something of its. -- something else. >> there were 48 who remained laid-off. there are four that have been recalls. there is one who resigned, and there is one who refused an assignment. there are 48 lefaid off. 37 teachers. compared to last year, we are way ahead of where we were last year >> we have really made a

concerted effort to get our people. we are updated about how diligently we are working through this through for a fiscal crisis in california, so i appreciate you sharing these numbers. we do everything we can to keep the public abreast of our situation. >> i would like to say that compared to where we were last year does not guarantee all of these people are going to be recalled, but last year we were well behind this curve, and we started out with those, and it

ultimately was 199. almost all of those teachers were recalled before we started the school year. it does not guarantee the remaining 37 are going to be recalled. >> i appreciate that, and i appreciate we are taking the long view in regards to what we have to do, and we have observed that when we are talking about now lay offs. thank you very much. they appreciate that very much.

thank you. >> other comments? >> i just want to go to if we are looking at funding, we should look at where they are coming from. i am not really a budget person, but i have your marketplaces where we could cut. i could identify a enough money, so i look forward to the discussion and curio -- on that. >> as we come to a a close, i

want to thank the staff. i know every year it is more and more painful, and i want to thank our city partners who have helped us in and stay afloat and all of the community partners and then play a big role -- community partners but play a big role. the cuts would be even steeper if we did not have folks who believe in the work we are doing and believed in our kids. i want to go back to this concept of generating revenue. there are ways we can generate revenue. i am getting mixed feelings

about a summer school. it is one of those places that is not engaging but they go because they have to, and it is depressing to see them working on one subject because a variety of different reasons over the school year, but i know it is really helpful to your your -- really helpful. i really want to think about how we are spending our dollars, so if we are going to utilize our attendance liaison, let's utilize in a way where we are identifying students who are showing habitual studios in a

secure a good -- habitually studios. i would like to see where those dollars are going. i also want us to plan ahead. we and the scrambling for kids and teachers we do we and upon three do we end a of scrambling for kids and -- we end up scrambling for kids and teachers. it is hard to get the kids

there, and it is great to do programs and really being more creative, but i guess my stronger feelings are about having a place for kids to go. when it is not available, it becomes part of the conversation. i want to find ways to be proactive early on and notifying the kids earlier and letting

them know need year, you are teetering and will end oup in summer school, so really thinking about having these discussions earlier on rather the end in april to reduce rather than in april -- earlier rather than in april and really wanting to have a valuable and fair conversation about what is in our parking lot and how it relates to our priorities, so is there are no further discussions -- do you have something else? >> i just want to add that we

have a plan for a safety net or how to have students succeed, so you are right. we should be aligning our resources and also looking like thingare things like night schoo i think it is a plan, and it is not just a band-aid on the problem, but it is about how do we make people feel success so they get increasingly more rigorous. it is going to have to be much

more innovative and more interesting. i think it is hard for students, but schools but do it well through the generosity of the city, thank you to mayor li, and in lincoln high school, there are 30 students attending, and they are keeping track of it. we should be doing a smaller classroom. i think we learned a lot, and i think you're right that summer's

" is a band-aid. -- summer school is a band-aid. i think it is a work in progress. thank you. >> i think there is some good news here. a large cross-section of our staff was able to listen to our sister school districts about what they have done to develop a safety net for students, and i think everyone left knowing and seeing what the endgame could look like, but i also want to

mention that while recognizing there is a tremendous need for efficacy, there are 10 additional folks coming at one of our most undeserving schools, which are going to be working through the details and how they work with our office, but we could well come more support, but i want to understand there are additional resources, and i would also like to add that we are requiring

every school to have written plan about what they do to provide safety nets for students under not passing their classrooms, -- that are not passing their glasses, and i would like to do a presentation so everything would be viable. they do a wonderful job of actually providing the support as well. it is by no means as comprehensive, but having an understanding is really important, and i appreciate the commissioners remarks. >> maybe someone can let her know that she should come back

to me about when we should schedule about. >> i want to thank commissioner fuir. i want to make this point. let's just say that what in fact was a problem in summer school at the aptly described, but we are going to torture yeaou for sitting there, but it did not work. it was not in line with the program. they were not the best teachers. they were not paying attention to what the kids in not get the

time are round. -- that time around. i am hoping that we are able to have it be school of winds -- school aligned, and there are some important lessons for us to learn. good -- that are aligned. >> i just have to give a showeu- out to tom for having the brilliance to create an aircraf craft as safety.

we would not have sports or music or counselors that we have, and we would not have as much money as we need. i just want to say thank you so much superior -- thank you so much. it is always in the engine on the city's househealth, and that continues to be on a decline. this year we are looking at close to 8 million or 9 million, so it varies, but traveling

across the country, people are amazed we get the kind of support we get from the city. >> i submitted a long list of questions and suggestions, and i wanted to theank staff very much for their hard work on the budget. >> roll call please. >> [calling votes] >> thank you, colleagues. good evenin>> we have one more .
